P(DMAA-co-AM)hydrogel; adsorption method; a-amylase; Immobilized enzyme. Abstract. P(DMAA-co-AM)hydrogel was prepared by aqueous solution polymerization with N,N-dimethylacrylamide(DMAA) and acrylamide(AM) as monomers.,taking the P(DMAA-co-AM) hydrogel as carrier, a-amylase was immobilized by adsorption method.The investigation of effection of temperature and pH on enzymatic activity exhibites that the optimum temperatures are 50°C for both free and immobilized enzyme,the maximum activity is observed at pH 6.0 for both free and immobized enzyme. The activity of immobilized a-amylase remaines higher 40% at sixth run. Kinetic studies demonstrate that: Km values are 5.15749 and 1.44479 mg/mL for free and immobilized enzyme, Vmax values are 2.56082 and 0.58272 mg/mL min-1 for free and immobilized enzyme.

Lanthanum has been doped onto the surface of the natural Pyrolusite for simultaneous removal of phosphate and fluoride in aqueous solution. The adsorbent characterization of the materials was observed by the SEM, BET, and XRD techniques. The dynamics and isotherms models of fluoride and phosphate adsorption, with respect to pH, pHPZC, adsorbent dose, and effect of coexisting ions, were studied. The results showed that lanthanum doped Pyrolusite ore (LDPO) relatively highly adsorbed amount of phosphate and fluoride from aqueous solution. Phosphate and fluoride removal efficiencies of LDPO are approximately 97% and 95%, respectively. Pseudo-first order for kinetic studies of phosphate and fluoride removal of the LDPO was observed with high correlations for fluoride but weak correlations for phosphate. However, pseudo-second order for kinetic studies was high correlation for both phosphate and fluoride. The phosphate and fluoride adsorption capacities of the LDPO significantly decreased with the existence of coions (sulfate, chloride, and nitrate) in the aqueous solution.

The aqueous solution polymerization methods were used for the synthesis of superabsorbent resin. The effects of different experimental factors on synthetic resin water absorbency were investigated in this paper. The variables examined in this study included monomer concentration, neutralization degree, initiator and crosslinker concentration, reaction temperature and time, etc. The maximum absorbencies of distilled and 0.9% saline water are 919 times and 92 times respectively under optimum condition. Analysis from FTIR and SEM shown the polymer molecules can be firmly fixed with kaolin, the bonding of kaolin and polymer is good in CSR.

TiO2 (P25) fine particles were loaded in a polyacrylic acid (PAA), which possessed a unique absorption characteristic and was synthesised by aqueous solution polymerization. The TiO2/PAA composite was taken as a photocatalyst to degrade methyl orange (MO), the degradability resistance and reproducibility of the photocatalyst were investigated experimentally. The results showed that the TiO2/PAA photocatalyst had a good activity and stability in degradability of organic compound.

A novel cement fluid loss additive P1402, which synthesized using the monomers of 2-acrylamido-2-methyl-propane sulphonic acid (AMPS), acrylic acid (AA), N,N dimethyl acrylamide (DMAM) and N-Vinyl-2-pyrrolidone (NVP) by the method of aqueous solution polymerization. The ratio of monomers AMPS:AA:DMAM:NVP at 2:1.5:1:1, reaction PH at 10.8, reaction temperature at 65°Cand reaction time about 5 hours. The IR spectrum of P1402 show that the polymer with the structure of all the monomers .The fluid loss performance testing show that the forpolymers P1402 has an excellent thermal stability. The fluid loss additive P1402 has an excellent tolerance to salt and high temperature.

An open reading frame, encoding for KDOPS (3-deoxy-D-manno-octulosonate 8-phosphate synthase), from Arabidopsis thaliana was cloned into a T7-driven expression vector. The protein was overexpressed in Escherichia coli and purified to homogeneity. Recombinant A. thaliana KDOPS, in solution, displays an apparent molecular mass of 76 kDa and a subunit molecular mass of 31.519 kDa. Unlike previously studied bacterial KDOPSs, which are tetrameric, A. thaliana KDOPS appears to be a dimer in solution. The optimum temperature of the enzyme is 65 °C and the optimum pH is 7.5, with a broad peak between pH 6.5 and 9.5 showing 90% of maximum activity. The enzyme cannot be inactivated by EDTA or dipicolinic acid treatment, nor it can be activated by a series of bivalent metal ions, suggesting that it is a non-metallo-enzyme, as opposed to the initial prediction that it would be a metallo-enzyme. Kinetic studies showed that the enzyme follows a sequential mechanism with Km=3.6 μM for phosphoenolpyruvate and 3.8 μM for D-arabinose 5-phosphate and kcat=5.9 s−1 at 37 °C. On the basis of the characterization of A. thaliana KDOPS and phylogenetic analysis, plant KDOPSs may represent a new, distinct class of KDOPSs.

By means of aqueous solution polymerization method, the composites of polyacrylic acid (PAA)/Bacterial cellulose (BC)/Na-MMT and PAA/Na-MMT were prepared respectively. The effects of Na-MMT content on the properties of PAA/Na-MMT and BC content on the properties of PAA/BC/Na-MMT composites were investigated. The results show that with appropriate increasing Na-MMT, the composites has good salt-resistant ability and thermal stability, mean while, the water-absorbing capacity of PAA/Na-MMT composites is significantly increased. Comparing with that of the PAA/Na-MMT hydrogel, with addition of BC content, the water-absorbing capacity and thermal stability of PAA/BC/Na-MMT are enhanced in a certain degree. The SEM analysis indicate that there are more network structure in the composites hydrogel. XRD result shows that the layered structure of Na-MMT is stripped and the prepared composites achieves peel compound.
